The MSc in Biology from the Université de Sherbrooke offers four specialized research pathways in the fields of molecular and cellular biology, terrestrial ecology and microbiology-biotechnology, as well as bioinformatics. In molecular and cellular biology , research activities are mainly oriented towards understanding the mechanisms involved in the regulation of gene expression, cell differentiation, apoptosis and defense responses in animals and plants. In microbiology , research groups are studying economically important saprophytic microorganisms, actinomycetes, as well as pathogens of human and veterinary importance, and agri-food. In bioinformatics, research activities are mainly oriented towards the quantitative analysis of large datasets in genetics, genomics, and complex ecological interactions. Finally, the Earth Ecology Research Center (CRET) is dedicated to the study of biodiversity and ecosystem function in changing environments, patterns and processes affecting population dynamics and biodiversity.
